DALLAS (CBS 11 NEWS) – According to community leaders, there have been five attacks in the Oak Lawn area in the past three weeks. However, in each of the recent cases the victims have not reported the crimes to police.

“By not reporting it, it’s as if it never happened,” said Rafael McDonnell with LGBT Resource Center. “It’s making it harder on the people who live here, who work here, who play here. It’s making it harder for police to catch these people.”
